About This Session

Most leaders miss that how we use our attention (or lack of) has a 50-70% emotional impact on our team, for better or worse.

 Discover what the human brain craves in communication patterns and learn how applying that knowledge can drastically improve your effectiveness as a leader. For example, the techniques taught in this program will help you communicate change in a way that helps your team quickly shift from fear and resistance to enthusiasm and innovation. Don’t miss this opportunity to develop your leadership skills further, preparing you to build a culture of peak performance.
